Markus Wiederkehr updated MIME4J-85:
------------------------------------
Attachment: mime4j-java5-v2.patch
Because of problems with the Retrotranslator plugin this second patch replaces
the enum with a Java 1.4 compatible typesafe enum pattern (a class with public
static final constants).
It also replaces StringBuffers in the source code with StringBuilders
(Retrotranslator is capable of translating them back).
And the POM now includes the retrotranslator:translate-project goal. As far as
I can tell (and according to Retrotranslators own verify option) the resulting
jar file is compatible with Java 1.4.
I'll leave the first patch attached to this issue just in case..
If someone knows how to configure the Retrotranslator plugin to translate Java
5 enums please let me know.

> The Mime4j API would greatly benefit from Java 5 language features, most of
> all Generics.
> For backward compatibility with JVM 1.4 the generated jar file could be
> transformed using the Retrotranslator Maven Plugin. If this compatibility is
> required new features of the Java 5 API (such as StringBuilder) cannot be
> used.
